Tyler Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County 2013
Fresh, lively, and elegant, the Tyler Pinot Noir offers up notes of red and black berries, hibiscus, tea, and toast. The palate is vibrant, showcasing plenty of fruit that is light on its feet, hints of spice and savory notes. It finishes clean with a striking purity of fruit and a classic Pinot profile. This will continue to evolve and hit its peak in another 4-5 years.
Tyler Winery
Tyler is dedicated to producing wines of delicacy and balance, where structure and nuance are favored above all else. Our focus is exclusively on exceptional vineyard sites throughout the Santa Rita Hills and Santa Maria Valley within Santa Barbara County, and feel pinot noir and chardonnay are the best mediums to express each vineyard site. Within these two appellations, the unique combination of marine-based soils, transverse ranges and valleys, and cool ocean influence make this a truly wonderful place for growing pinot noir and chardonnay. - From the Tyler website
